Below is the PHP code I deleted some of the PHP mailer code because stack overflow refused to allow me to submit the code saying the code was too long and that I needed more explanation for the problem at hand.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$mail->addAddress($_POST['email']);
// $mail->addReplyTo($_POST['email'], $_POST['name']);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $_POST['subject'];
$mail->Body = $_POST['message'];
$mail->addAttachment($_POST['attachment']);
try {
$mail->send();
echo 'Your message was sent successfully!';
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Your message could not be sent! PHPMailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
}
else {
echo "There is a problem with the contact.html document!";
}
?>
Below is the HTML form. I have tried submitting the form data to be processed by the PHP code but it refuses to be submitted. I have posted the PHP code above and the HTML code below.
<form method="POST" role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="row">
<div class=" col-md-6 mb-3">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" id="email">
</div>
<div class=" col-md-6 mb-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="subject" id="subject">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<textarea class="form-control" rows="5" name="message" id="message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class=" col-md-6 mb-3">
<input type="file" class="form-control" name="attachment" id="attachment">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<button name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send mail</button>
CodePudding user response:
You have to add submit button under form tag.
<form method="POST" role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="row">
<div class=" col-md-6 mb-3">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" id="email">
</div>
<div class=" col-md-6 mb-3">
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="subject" id="subject">
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<textarea class="form-control" rows="5" name="message" id="message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class=" col-md-6 mb-3">
<input type="file" class="form-control" name="attachment" id="attachment">
</div>
</div>
<button name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send mail</button>
</form>
Thanks

Your submit button is not inside the form tag.. That is the issue Please put the submit button inside the form tag. before the closing tag
CodePudding user response:
You should keep the submit button inside form tags.
<form><button name="submit" type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Send mail</button></form>
